Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies. For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

Spot the Luigi is a great game to play whilst watching the darts with your 6 year old son. Sometimes he's easy to spot, and other times he can take over an hour to find but without fail Luigi's always in the crowd somewhere.

gian van veen is third favourite for the world darts championships, and also a fascinating guy: brilliant and brittle, open about his struggles, a thinking man in a fiercely anti-intellectual sport. we talked about doubt, and dartitis, and aviation engineering www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/d...

They have been so dominant this year, that it seems unthinkable a Luke doesn’t make the final. The question is, it seems, one Luke or two? #darts capitalarrows.com/one-luke-or-...

My AmericaNO (pronounced Americarno) campaign is progressing well; fundamental issue, however - how to tell people about it without using an American-owned platform?

13. But the gripes are minor; the tournament belonged to Littler, probably now the most famous dart player ever. Once the hyperbole has settled, 2025 in darts should be fun.

000

justirwin.bsky.social @justirwin.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

12. The Championship continues its struggle to live up to World billing. Littler beat 5 Englishmen before he owned Dutchman MVG. It was an all-European last 16; MVG was the only non-Brit in the last 8. Four Filipinos in the draw was new, but in the 7th year since expanding to 96, little has changed.

000

justirwin.bsky.social @justirwin.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

11. This tournament illustrated what a great job the spotters have done for years – with key shots missed entirely a disaster for TV and live audiences alike. (The obsession with darts Premier League is also extremely dull – this is the World Championship, not a qualifying event)

010

justirwin.bsky.social @justirwin.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

10. Wayne Mardle was sorely missed, the coverage flatter and more monochrome in his absence; the sadness at his wife’s sudden death amongst the PDC and Sky teams will have been deep – they are a substitute family at this time of year. The tribute to Donna to end the final transmission was welcome.

020

justirwin.bsky.social @justirwin.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

9. Thoughts should be spared too for Damon Heta and Christian Kist, both losers with a £60k 9-darter bonus. And Joe Cullen may have learnt that deciding not to talk to the media only works if the media subsequently want to hear from you: toys, pram, etc.

000

justirwin.bsky.social @justirwin.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

8. As seems to regularly happen, the exciting games dried up towards the end. The last six losing semi-finalists have won just six sets between them, and this year no games from quarter final onwards reached a final set, a result, to some extent, of the record number of seeds dropping in round 2.

000

justirwin.bsky.social @justirwin.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

7. Others for whom 2025 was a good vintage included the two losing semi-finalists, Stephen Bunting and Chris Dobey, the third Luke (Woodhouse, with excellent victories over de Decker and Heta), Ryan Joyce, and, until a shocking fourth round display, Ricardo Pietreczko.

000

justirwin.bsky.social @justirwin.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

6. In all, it was a good tournament for MVG, who played in the finest match that really mattered – his defeat of Callan Rydz in the quarter final. Rydz ended with three of the top four averages; watching whether he can sustain this form will be an intrigue for 2025.

5. If he needs a role model then he should look no further than former champions Humphries and Van Gerwen, both once again showing sportspeople how to lose properly. MVG may not win this tournament again, but Humphries surely be there or thereabouts for several years.

000

justirwin.bsky.social @justirwin.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

4. Talk has subsequently shifted to how many titles Littler can win, and whether Phil Taylor’s record is in danger. It’s not. The main question should be whether young Luke can cope with his future, when grubby elements of the British press turn on him, and fans get bored of him winning

010

justirwin.bsky.social @justirwin.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

3. The Nuke had a favourable draw, helped by avoiding Edhouse and Searle in the early rounds, or facing a Mohican-shaped banana skin that his namesake Humphries discovered in round 4. But the draw made little difference. His ability to pressurise opponents when seemingly out of legs was uncanny.

000

justirwin.bsky.social @justirwin.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

2. Littler’s skill will be matched by other 17-year olds, but his action is flawless, and the way he owns the stage is truly remarkable.

000

justirwin.bsky.social @justirwin.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

1. Littler was a much-deserved champion. He was consistently the best player, averaging over 100 in 5 of his 6 matches, and dealt with what ought to have been intolerable pressure with aplomb.

000

justirwin.bsky.social @justirwin.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

Thoughts on the 2025 PDC World Championship, which finished on Friday night with 17-year old Luke Littler taking a step further than last year, and becoming the latest dog-tired dartist required to hold that heaviest of trophies aloft for longer than it took him to reel off the first four sets.

Brentford FC still yet to join Bluesky. 16/20 Premier League clubs are here. Those left (I think): NFO, MUN, LEI and the Bees. If you want to please email enquiries@brentfordfc.com and ask them to set one up! Or if you are still on X leave a comment on a club post. Thanks!

With the exception of James Wade, I don't really care who wins tonight, and there is nobody who I hope will lose

justirwin.bsky.social @justirwin.bsky.social · 13/11/2024

Pdc darts is at a moment of change with new names taking over. This results in some less interesting tournament evenings, such as tonight at the Grand Slam. A necessary problem
